Situation Report 16 | 13 August 2020
(Based on figures from 70 countries as of 10 August 2020)
We urge the world to stand together with the most vulnerable children to fight COVID-19 especially refugees and the internally displaced
Devastating aftershocks of the crisis are putting at least 85 million more children at risk of violence Millions of parents and caregivers have lost incomes and jobs due to COVID-19 forcing 8 million children into child labour in Asia alone We urgently need to address both the direct health impacts of the virus and the secondary shocks brought about by viral containment measures
Joining hands with faith leaders is critical to strengthen preparedness behaviour change and protecting children
World Vision regularly monitors the global trajectory and impact of COVID-19 to inform how it will respond and advocate for the most vulnerable children and families World Vision looks at the latest statical data about the pandemic including case growth and death rates among other critical contextual factors Currently World Vision is particularly concerned about Bolivia Ecuador Kosovo Mexico Romania and Syria These countries may require additional support in order to limit the primary and secondary impacts of COVID-19
Global COVID-19 Cases 20120919Global Deaths 736766
(as of 12 August 2020 WHO) responding includes field programming andor fundraising
Key Concerns

COVID-19 Emergency Response
Asia Pacific Region
OverviewCOVID-19 confirmed cases continue to rise in South East Asia With the socio-economic conditions further deteriorating and estimated substantial growth downgrades there is no certainty about when things will return to normal Several World Vision field offices are now focusing on developing recovery plan while other field offices are adapting ongoing technical programmes and integrating long-term rehabilitation and resilience into their development work
Latin America and Caribbean Region
OverviewLatin America and the Caribbean surpassed the ominous mark of 5 million COVID-19 cases and 200000 deaths a trend that still seems far from receding Brazil is currently 2nd in the world with 29 million cases and 99000 deaths which are rapidly expanding from megacities to rural areas where health services are severely limited Plummeting production and tourism will plunge 45 million people into poverty By the end of this year one out of every three Latin Americans will be poor according to the ECLAC
Middle East and Eastern Europe Region
OverviewA massive explosion shook Beirut Lebanon on 4 August killing at least 220 people and wounding 5000 Thousands of businesses and homes are severely damaged and livelihoods threatened This tragedy comes in the middle of COVID-19 outbreak and economic crisis in Lebanon More than 300000 people have been made homeless with some families forced to seek temporary shelter with relatives and acquaintances in schools and other administrative buildings
HighlightsIn Lebanon World Vision is conducting rapid assessments and initial observations show that food shelter and hygiene items are urgently required to respond to the aftermath of the explosion with hundreds of households left without shelter and basic items Personal protective equipment kits will also be required to prevent additional spread of COVID-19 and reduce the impact on an overstretched health system This week World Vision has already started to distribute food and disinfectant kits to affected families
Africa Region
OverviewAs the Africa region relaxes confinement measures World Vision is concerned by the increasing risk of transmission and is appealing for the intensification of prevention measures and support health systems mass testing and surveillance World Vision is also concerned about reports of increased gender-based violence and violence against children COVID-19 induced economic challenges are also coming at a time when the region is experiencing multiple disasters ranging from conflict climate shocks and social challenges
Highlights In Kenya World Vision continues to make contributions to policy changes on COVID-19 guidelines for care of children in Kenya In collaboration with partners World Vision is also contributing to policy changes on COVID-19 community health response minimum standards and guidelines on continued provision of community health services in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

Humanitarian Accountability
A key focus for World Visionrsquos COVID-19 response is to provide information consult people on their needs and how they want to participate in their own self-recovery and take action based on the feedback and complaints we hear from people so that we remain accountable to the children and communities that we serve Here are the top trends of what communities are telling us in the month of July

In Brazil communities expressed that WhatsApp is the most agile channel and the preferred platform to obtain official information about response programmes World Vision has improved its communication systems and used WhatsApp to disseminate important information to a large number of groups Beneficiaries reported having trouble to understand how to access and participate in cash transfer programmes and how to use the e-transfer system World Vision created an explanation link to reduce the gaps and increase the speed to registration
In Guatemala a family with a COVID-19 positive member expressed their concern about being discriminated against by the residents of the community As has been observed in other cases World Vision coordinated with local authorities a network of leaders and health services so that families have information about COVID-19 apply prevention and hygiene measures and support cases that occur in the community This allowed the family to comply with its quarantine without being discriminated against and without consequences that threatened the integrity of the quarantine

A key focus for World Visionrsquos COVID-19 response is to provide information consult people on their needs and how they want to participate in their own self-recovery and take action based on the feedback and complaints we hear from people so that we remain accountable to the children and communities that we serve Here are the top trends of what communities are telling us in the month of July

Field offices reported community feedback about requesting food security and livelihoods support
We listen to communities and respond
In Malawi some communities still did not believe that they could contract COVID-19 After awareness campaigns were conducted these communities are now adopting preventive measures like putting on face masks and washing of hands World Vision has also provided PPE to health centres after some communities expresed concern over lack of supplies Communities have also complained about conflicting information on how to care for cloth mask shared by other partners In response World Vision has engaged with health workers to sensitise the communities on appropriate messages for taking care of cloth face masks
In Democratic Republic of Congo community members in some of World Visionrsquos operational areas have requested to be more involved in disseminating messages to stop the spread of COVID-19 In the past few weeks World Vision trained 80 young people as community reporters to document and share COVID-19 communications within their communities Participants were drawn from Maluku Kisantu Kasangulu and Mbanza Ngungu
In Brazil communities expressed that WhatsApp is the most agile channel and the preferred platform to obtain official information about response programmes World Vision has improved its communication systems and used WhatsApp to disseminate important information to a large number of groups Beneficiaries reported having trouble to understand how to access and participate in cash transfer programmes and how to use the e-transfer system World Vision created an explanation link to reduce the gaps and increase the speed to registration
In Guatemala a family with a COVID-19 positive member expressed their concern about being discriminated against by the residents of the community As has been observed in other cases World Vision coordinated with local authorities a network of leaders and health services so that families have information about COVID-19 apply prevention and hygiene measures and support cases that occur in the community This allowed the family to comply with its quarantine without being discriminated against and without consequences that threatened the integrity of the quarantine
